Chapter 8 "I'm so happy, but I miss him…"

"How long does it take to get ready for a PHOTO SHOOT?!" Pia asked, while we were getting our hair and make-up done, just like we had been doing for the past hour.

"Well, you have to be perfect for the camera!" I said, closing my eyes for the make-up artist to put the eye shadow on my eye lids.

After 3 hours of hair, make-up, and picking the clothes, we were looking HOT.

Ally was in a dark blue short sleeve shirt, with a light blue undershirt and a light blue swirl pattern on the shirt. She had jean shorts on, and a question mark necklace. Her hair was curly, and half up, with a curly piece hanging down.

Pia was in a striped red and white polo t-shirt, with jeans shorts. She had her charm bracelet on, with a couple charms attached to it. She also had a long white bead necklace over the polo. Her hair was straight, down on her shoulders, with a red headband placed on the top of her head.

Judy was in a pair of jeans, with a cool pattern on the butt pockets, and with a long green spaghetti strap shirt. Not to mention, she had a black chain necklace with it too. Her hair was curly and in a high ponytail, with a few curly hairs hanging down from it.

I had a jean skirt on, with ruffles on the bottom and some string hanging off on the bottom, making the skirt look used. I also had on a crème colored spaghetti strap top, with brown polka dots on it. I also had a long gold circle necklace on with it. My hair was perfect; it was straight and long, with a few little braids in it here and there.

We were looking HOT and ready for the photo shoot.

"That's it girls!" Jim, the photographer, said to us, when we all posed for a group picture.

I was sitting on a basic diner chair, with my legs crossed. Ally was behind me, with her elbows on the back of the chair, her chin in her hands. (The chairs' back was really high) Judy was to the right of me, her body turned in-ward, toward me, and Pia doing the same, just on the left side of me, and not on the right.

We all had the look like we were laughing on our faces, because WE WERE. But, that was only one picture, the others had silly faces, and just regular smiles, and OF COURSE, different poses.

I had about 5 pictures where I was alone, and then we did a few of me with each of my friends. J-14 said they thought the picture of all of us was so good, that they were going to put it in the magazine. That is like, SO COOL. We couldn't believe it.

When the photo shoot was over, we got out of our "hottie" clothes, then went our to a little pizza shop in downtown LA with my mom and step-dad.

I got mobbed outside of the restaurant when we were walking in, and had to sign a ton of autographs. Then, once the people INSIDE the restaurant saw who was coming in the restaurant, they all mobbed me too. Well, at least all the kids did. I don't think the parents would want to mob me. They don't even know who the heck I am.

We ordered pizza and ate, then headed home.

"Julia, you look depressed, you seemed happy an hour ago." Ally said, sitting next to me on the couch in the basement. (We were the only ones down there, since Pia and Judy were up in my room, getting into their pajamas.)

"I don't know what I am." I said to her. "It's just that, I miss him." I continued saying to her, not knowing if she understood me. "Who do you miss? Dylan?" She asked me, in a questioning voice. "Yes, Dylan. Who else would I miss? I haven't seen him in a week you know." I said, sarcastic at first, then going back to my regular voice.

We just stopped talking about the subject of Dylan after that. The subject changed just automatically. Then, out of nowhere, she said, "Go call him. He probably misses you too."

I ran up the stairs that lead to the basement, passing Pia and Judy on their way down.

Hope 'ya like it!!!
